i can't play red front with XP!!!! HELP!

[mshaughne]

grrrrrrrrr!

ok, i had a sudden urge to play red front & second front... i hadn't played in six months or so

in that time i upgraded to XP

as you all know you have to open a batch file to switch seasons/periods etc... in these games

well, here's the problem.. the second i open the batch file it closes right away not allowing me to select oneo f the options like normal... i managed to screenshot it when i opened the batch file directly through dos (not just double clicking the batch file in windows explorer and it said this...

is there anyway to bypass this.. i need to play these scenarios, they are the best thing i've ever played and am not complete without them

thanks in advance!


NOTE: geocities is not very nice, so you have to copy and paste the url in the linkbar.. you can't just click it

There might be a better solution, but since batch files don't work with XP, what I have done is right click on the batch file, select edit, find the right part of the file and manually do what the batch file would have done.

Frustrating, I know

No there is another

DL this choice.com and put it in the directory of the scenario or if you want it to solve all in your windows/system32 directory. Happy Red Fronting!
